Assume the Black-Scholes setting for an arbitrage-free financial market, i.e. dS(t) = rS(t)dt + o S(t)dW(t) and S(0) = = So. (a) Show that the probability that a European call option, with maturity T and strike price K, will be exercised in a risk-neutral world is, N(d₂), where d₂ is defined as d₂ = log (So/K) + (-1/²)T οντ (b) What is an expression for the value of a derivative that pays off $1 if the price of a stock at time T is greater than K? (c) Suppose r = 0.06, So = 100, o = 0.2, T = 1. Compute the price of a derivative that pays off $1 if the price of a stock at time T = 1 is greater than 80 but less than 100? = Assume the Black-Scholes setting for an arbitrage-free financial market, i.e. dS(t) = rS(t)dt + o S(t)dW(t) and S(0) = = So.
